The bus promptly dropped us off back at Seoul Station around noon and we walked back to our flat for lunch. We went overboard buying food the previous night and didn’t even get around to tasting beef rib soup and rice ball. With fresh Korean strawberries, Starbucks coffee and black bean milk, they made for an appetising lunch.
Afterwards, we headed out to Yeouido Park for Seoul cherry blossom festival. If you are armed with a great DSLR camera, you can also go there at night to enjoy over 1000 cheery trees lighted up to create a romantic ambience. After visiting both Yeouido area and Jinhae, I prefer Jinhae cherry festival though. Nonetheless, Seoul has many places for you to catch these lovely flowers during their fleeting blossom season. For instance, at Namsan Mountain, the view of cherry trees must be stunning with N-Seoul Tower in the backdrop.
How to get there: Yeouinaru Station, Line 5, Exit 1 OR
National Assembly Station, Line 9, Exit 1 or 6
